A Lovely Garden in the Tennessee Valley with gobs of Antique Roses

Today I was surfing the web and found a great website about a small garden in
Florence, Alabama. Florence is on or near the Tennesee River in Northeastern
Alabama. The couple started the garden in 1992. There were no mature trees or plants.
In 2007, it looks great for a 15 year old garden.
The owners have nice antique roses, perennials, vines and lovely shrubs and
trees. They have added many features to the garden such as garden walls, trellises,
and arbors and etc. You may visit the website at home.hiwaay.net.

What I found unique about this garden was a reddish violet wall(much bluer than mauve), faced down with perennials of colors that blend well with the wall - some blues and pinks. It also features a lovely native oakleaf hydrangea. How nice
are pictures of .
